Fox legal analyst: ‘Adam Schiff is correct’ – and might be hiding collusion evidence up his sleeve

On Thursday, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) hit back against claims that he had overstepped his authority pursuing evidence of collusion between the Trump administration and foreign agents. He noted that Michael Flynn had lied about his contacts with a Russian ambassador and that Paul Manafort had shared data with a Russian intelligence-linked associate.

"You might think that’s OK. I don’t," said Schiff. “I think it's unethical. I think it's unpatriotic. I think it's corrupt and evidence of collusion.”

On Fox Business Thursday, judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano noted that Schiff is likely sitting on evidence that hasn't been shared publicly.

"I think that Congressman Schiff is correct, in [the Mueller] report will be evidence of the existence of a conspiracy, not enough evidence to prove the existence beyond a reasonable doubt," said Napolitano. "In that report will be evidence of obstruction of justice, interfering with an FBI investigation for a personal gain but not enough evidence to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt."

"Congressman Schiff wants to dwell on that. If he has other sources since he is the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, he has to decide when and under what circumstances to reveal those sources."
